We had the Experience! Our tour guide Darryl was simply amazing 🤩 our tour started when we got in the van. Darryl began tell us the history of the falls. With this package your adventure is above the falls, beside the falls, under the falls and in the falls (with a poncho of course 😃) I’m so glad we choose all of the sites. Darryl answered all of our crazy questions with facts and a great sense of humor. His tips and suggestions were on point! I would recommend this package!

Darrell was great! I didn't know what to expect when I booked this tour, but we were paired with two couples (6 tourists total) in a nicely appointed Mercedes van and our guide, Darrell, talked us through Niagara and to our various stops. Although he did not accompany us during the attractions, I appreciated the advanced ticket purchasing and ease in skipping most lines. Would recommend everything but the restaurant at the end. Most of us were not pleased with the selection or quality of food. Still, 5 stars for the tour itself. The helicopter was priceless....quick (10 mins) but priceless!
